A Shocking Story

Los ANGELES, October ia few days
ago the burned remains of man were
found in the ruins of barn at Campton,
near this city. The body was burnt be-
yond recognition, but. was believed to
be that of DR.. Harlan, a well known
dentist and sporting man, of this city.
A girl, named Hattie Woisteen, who
came here recently from Peoria, Ills :,
was arrested on suspicion, and last
night her sister, Minnie Wolsteen, made
a statement that Harlan had been the
cause of Hattie's ruin, and that on the
night of the murder the pair went
riding in the direction of Campton,
when Hattie threatened to expose
Harlan's conduct. Harlan has a wife
and family in this city, and Hattie's
threats so frightened him, her sister
states, that he shot himself in the car
riage. His companion feared the results
of being found with the dead body, so
she took it 80 the barn, set fire to the
building and escaped.

Musk Deer.

Much interesting information regard
ing musk and the musk deer is given
in a lengthy article in the London
Chemist and Druggist. We make the
following extract: So long as musk re-
mains one of the most priced perfumes
and commands an almost fabulous
value In the European market, the
musk deer is likely TO be hunted down
in spite of all restrictions, though pro-
badly. like the beaver and the bird of
paradise, its entire determination is
only question of years.
1t is said that several attempts have
been made to rear the musk deer In cap
tivitY, but in no instance has the expert
ment been successful. The habits of
the creature are altogether opposed to
possibility of domeSticatiou 1t in
habits the shady mountain forests, is
seldom found at a lower altitude than
5000 feet, but most frequently between
10000 and 1900 feet, its domicile
bordering upon the region of eternal
snow. 1t is not grt garious animal,
bat lives in couples. mostly occupying
lis lair in the day time, and roaming
about at night in search of food. Add
to this that the musk deer rivals the
chamois in swiftneSs and climbing
powers, and it will be seen that musk
hunting is by no means a sinecure. The
musk deer multiplies but slowly; the
dam generally gives birth TO one or two
once year which is another argument
for the probability OF the total disap-
pearanCe o. the animal at no distant
date.
The following figures will convey a.
idea Of the enormous number OF deer
slaughtered every year: In 1885 the
quantity OF musk shipped from Shang-
hsi amounted to % cattle or 1896
ounces. A r cord kept by an Ameri IAN
firm OF musk 1ty erS gives 394 grains as
the average weight of the Chinese musk
pods passing turoGgn their hands, con-
seq1ently, taking these figures as a
basis, a holocaust of SO 673 deer has
been sacrificed to furnish the Shanghai
exports for single year! And this
number only represents q minority OF
the whole. to7 very large quantities Of
mu k are exported through other chan
neis- by way of Russia and British
India. The greater part of the Chinese
musk pods offs sed in the London drug
sales are very small, and have been
taken from aHlLudls stlll lar removed
from maturity. The musk-sac, which
is carried by the male animal only, con-
taius at first tlickish. pale colored
fluid, which changes into musk about
the third year. Under that age the
animal is not worth killing. and even
then it does not generally yield more
than one-sighth OF an ounce of musF.
The average weight of the pod of full.
grown animal is about nine tenths of an
ounce, though occasionally specimen
Yields over two ounces.
Although exceptional circumstances
nav occasionally cause temporary de-
cline or an Abnormal rise, the market
value of musk is rising steadily year by
wear, and will no doubt continue to do
so unless special cause should inter
vene.

ished his address, stood looking at the
efforts that were being made to revive
the venerable jurist with sad and
sympathetic countenance, while Mrs.
Cleveland seemed deeply affected. The
Presidential party had left the platform
before DR.. Bryant arose from over the
body and turning to an acquaintance
remarked, Lets join the President. l"
In answer to the inquiry, what is the
matter with Judge Ellett?" DR.. Bryant
responded, He tainted, and has
not yet recovered consciousness" This
was said to dispel the shadow
of gloom that might otherwise have
been cast upon the festivities, had the
true condition of the stricken man been
made known. The immense multitude
who witnessed the incident did not
realize that death had come. They
made rush for the Exposition build
ing, where the reception was being held,
leaving to the few friends of the Judge
the sad duty of carrying the remains
across the street whence they were soon
afterwards taken, where he had left q
few hours before to welcome President
Cleveland in behalf of the southern
people.
The Presidential reception to the
public in the hall of the Cotton Ex-
change, was about an hour in length.
From the Exchange the party was
escorted TO their train, and at pm.
left for Nashville.

NOTES FROM THE NORTH.
Newsy Gossip from Our NeighbOr-
Jag Territory.

II. L. THOMPSON, of Novene, near this
place, had all his hay, 100 tons, with
corrals, stables and sheds, destroyed by
fire, caused by spark from a passing
locomotive.
FRANKLIN BACON, JR., of this pl ce,
came very near losing his entire house
hold effects by fire, caused by defec-
tive flue IN a bedroom. Everything
was consumed in that part of the house.
The baby had only been removed few
moments before the fire was discovered.
EX-BIsHoP SAMUEL MATHEWS and
ricks of hay on the Paris Bottoms last
week by the devouring element. Esti-
mate loss $1,000.
JOHN HANCOCK, of Liberty, had his
house with all its contents destroyed by
fire on Monday last. By the efforts of
himself and neighbors, he saved his
granary and other out buildings.
THERE has been no rain in this valley
for the last SIX months, and as a con-
sequence everything is as dry as q
finder box.
WE saw, while at Fish Haven, several
orchards heavily laden with apples.
THOMAS GREENHALG5 of Bloomington,
gathered from one tree in his orchard
this fall nine bushels of apples.
The following are the prices given in
